The Flag of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia’s Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 7.5% year-on-year (YoY) in May 2026, data from the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) showed.

 

The PPI rose to 110.5 points in May, according to the base year 2023, compared to 102.8 points in May 2025.

 

GASTAT said that this change reflects price movements within the key economic activities covered by the index.

 

The authority defined PPI as one of the key economic indicators used to assess economic performance and monitor changes in domestic product prices at the producer level.

 

The index aims to measure price changes in locally produced goods and services over specific periods, which helps analyze inflation or deflation trends in various productive activities.
